Among them are Pennsylvania and Fordham in the East: Nebraska, the undisputed Big Six Conference leader; Mississippi, tied with Tennessee for first in the Southeastern Conference, and Duke and Clemson, rivals for the South ern Conference crown.

Michigan Faces Rough Road. The Western Conference race was reduced to a two-team affair when Minnesota, dark horse” at the start of the season, edged out North western, 1912. If they can get past Michigan by even as small margin, the Gophers should have clear road to the title. Michigan, how ever, has to play Northwestern later and the whole thing may wind up in a tangle.
